The Languages of Gift in the Early Middle Ages

The Languages of Gift in the Early Middle Ages
Wendy Davies, Paul Fouracre, "The Languages of Gift in the Early Middle Ages"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1107698782, 0521515173 | PDF | pages: 317 | 85.7 mb
This pioneering volume illuminates the practice of giving, endowing and exchanging gifts in the early Middle Ages, from Anglo-Saxon England to the Islamic world. Focusing especially on the language associated with medieval gift giving, this important new work examines how people visualized and thought about gift giving and, importantly, how they distinguished between the giving of gifts and other social, economic, political and religious exchanges. The authors demonstrate that gift giving was already complex, distinctive and sometimes contentious before the twelfth century and operated within a broad international context. They draw from the sources a deeper understanding of the early Middle Ages by looking at real cases and real people: peasants, the elderly and women, as well as elites. The culture of medieval gift has often been treated as archaic and exotic; this book, by contrast, reveals people going about their lives as individuals in down-to-earth and sometimes familiar ways.

The Language of Modern Physics An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science

The Language of Modern Physics An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science
Ernest H. Hutten, "The Language of Modern Physics: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Science "
English | ISBN: 1032369272 | 2022 | 276 pages | PDF | 7 MB
First published in 1956 The Language of Modern Physics gives a complete account of the concepts both of classical and quantum physics. The first part of the book deals with modern logic and semantics and discussion is based on the semantic conception of truth and leads up to the criterion of meaning. The second and main part of the book is about basic ideas of physics. Here the model which underlies a scientific theory is of greatest import; in most instances the model is tacitly assumed, but we must bring it into the open if we want to understand the theory. The third and last part deals with the methods scientists use for confirming their hypotheses. This book is a must read for students and scholars of philosophy of science and philosophy in general.
